compels me to state that the chief officers of our division were the first to ride off the field, and left the different regiments to look out for themselves. Col. Burnside, Gov. Sprague, Col. Martin, of the 71st, and one or two others, were for making a stand against the enemy, but the example of other demoralized scattered regiments threw all into confusion. After retreating a mile or so, Col. Burnside formed the brigade to cover the retreat — not by the orders of General McDowell, I believe, as I do not think he was seen again by any of our force after he left the field. The brigade was soon thrown into confusion again by cavalry and artillery coming f over. turned, muskets, blankets, cartridge boxes thrown away, and all abandoned; our dead left unburied, our wounded to be prisoners, and with the exception of Burnside's brigade scarcely a corporal's guard of any regiment or company together along the road.

Gore's Liverpool Commercial Advertiser, of July 16th, in an article upon the war in this country, says that "even the balance of power in Europe may be disturbed by its controversy." Also "that its influence upon British industry and commerce greatly surpasses that which would be executed by a European war." The Advertiser, in conclusion remarks; "We are reluctant unbelievers in the possibility of any compromise that would reconstruct the Union on its original basis, and we can discover no solid grounds for hope that the North will withd

War matters. From late papers received at this office, we make up the annexed summary of events: the Ruse for Homs. The Baltimore Sun, July 27, says: Yesterday morning the neighborhood of the President Street Depot presented a scenes rarely witnessed in Baltimore. A short time ago regiment after regiment of troops would arrive, but they were hurriedly pushed forward for the defence of Washington; but the scene of yesterday was nearly four thousand jaded and worn-out soldiers going home, but waiting impatiently for the means of transportation. Hundreds of them lay stretched upon the sidewalks, wrapped in sleep, and may hap dreaming of those who anxiously awaited their return. So great was the anxiety to get off, that the Rhode Island First Regiment ran up Pratt street to meet the cars that were to convey them northward. The feeling seemed to be general that they had and enough of the war and its privations, and intimated but little disposition to go again so fa

A Drunken Colonel. The same correspondent writes: Our disaster on Sunday is ascribed to Col. Dixon H. Miles, who commanded the reserve, and failed to come up at the critical moment.

Between Sunday morning at three and Monday noon, our brigade accomplished at least fifty miles of marching, including their share of the battle, without rest or sleep. the New York Sixty-ninth. A few days ago we published a telegraphic dispatch from Washington to the effect that Abe Lincoln had visited the 69th in Alexandria, presented them with a complimentary letter, and that they had consented to re-enlist. The following, from the New York Express, of the 25th stamps that dispatch with falsehood: The various Societies are requested to hold themselves in readiness in their regalia at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning to receive the 69th Regiment on their return from the seat of war. For place of rendezvous, see morning papers. the Briti

But it can propeed by a mass of stampeding politicians, teamsters, camp followers, &c.
